It was clear that the Akademiya was very dissatisfied with the Inazuma Delegation's stay in Vimara Village, because due to some technical issues, the Akasha would operate more smoothly and its functions would be more powerful in crowded major cities like Sumeru City or Port Ormos.
In the remote little place of Vimara Village, many functions of the Akasha could not operate normally, making it impossible for the high-ranking officials of the Akademiya to fully monitor and control the Inazuma Delegation.
At this critical moment, with the Project about to launch, variables like the Inazuma Delegation had to be curbed in time.
To prevent the Inazuma Delegation from deliberately delaying time with the excuse of damaged ships, shortly after Setaria reported the situation to the Akademiya, a group of professional Kshahrewar School mentors and students from Amurta Academy were ordered to repair the Inazuma Delegation's ships.
Their work efficiency was as if they were contractors paid by the Project, both fast and good, completing more than two days' worth of work in just half a day.
Miyashiro looked at these professional Kshahrewar School talents with shining eyes, filled with longing.
It must be said that among Sumeru's six major schools, Miyashiro had the best impression of the Kshahrewar School, followed by the Amurta School. The reason was very simple: the content of these two schools was precisely what Inazuma currently lacked. As for the other four schools, either their content was too grand, or it was not very helpful to ordinary people. The current Inazuma still preferred practicality.
This also proved from another perspective: no matter in which world, studying civil engineering and medicine is always useful!
Miyashiro had always wanted to find an opportunity to poach some talents from Sumeru to Inazuma, and it seemed this plan could now be given more attention.
Two days passed in a flash. The Inazuma Delegation, well-rested in Vimara Village, finally departed for Sumeru City at the previously agreed time, under the eager gaze of Akademiya officials.
Sumeru City was very lively at this time, for a simple reason: two days prior, everyone wearing an Akasha Terminal had received a message pushed by the Akademiya: at noon two days later, the Inazuma Delegation would arrive in Sumeru City to conduct diplomatic negotiations on the detailed terms of establishing diplomatic relations between the two nations.
This powerful news push feature had a huge impact. Not only did the people of Sumeru City and Port Ormos know about the Inazuma Delegation's arrival in Sumeru, but it even affected the futures prices of Inazuma specialties in Sumeru's largest exchange. After all, if Inazuma and Sumeru officially established diplomatic relations, Inazuma specialties would no longer need to be smuggled.
The futures prices of Inazuma specialties that needed to be imported from Inazuma plummeted, while the prices of Sumeru specialties exported to Inazuma surged.
At this time, the area near Sumeru City's port was already filled with onlookers.
Moreover, to show its sincerity, the Akademiya's welcoming party this time not only included Haravatat sage Khajeh, but also the highly influential Grand Sage Azar.
Under these circumstances, if the Inazuma Delegation dared to stand up Sumeru again, then the Inazuma Delegation could basically return home. Let alone establishing diplomatic relations, it would be considered merciful of Sumeru if the two nations did not cut off ties.
The Akademiya's high-ranking officials actually wished the Inazuma Delegation would stand them up one more time, which would simplify things. They could simply expel this variable from Sumeru and focus all their energy on the Project.
Unfortunately, this time they appeared punctually at Sumeru City's port.
As the Grand Sage, Azar spotted the entire Inazuma Delegation already wearing Akasha Terminals from afar, and a sly smile appeared on his face. As long as they wore them obediently, who cared what their status was!
After the ship docked and the delegation members disembarked under Miyashiro's lead, Azar, with a smile, was the first to step forward and shake Miyashiro's hand. When their hands met, the surrounding crowd erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
Miyashiro and Azar, these two foxes, one small and one large, both wore brilliant smiles. The Kamera's flash continuously flickered, as if recording this historic moment, but in reality, both harbored ulterior motives.
Azar saw that the Inazuma Regent was merely an inexperienced youth, and he couldn't help but look down on him. How could such a young person understand politics? He was probably just a warrior who achieved a high position through a bit of martial prowess. He was merely human; even with some martial arts, how strong could he be?
Once the divine plan is successfully completed, I will let you witness what the power of a god truly is.
What Miyashiro was thinking was even simpler: laugh, laugh as much as you can. Perhaps the photo they took today might become your last photo, Azar!
Azar: "Guests from afar, Sumeru welcomes you."
Miyashiro: "Grand Sage, you are truly too kind. I am quite overwhelmed."
Azar: "Regent, your team has traveled a long distance and rested in Vimara Village for several days. How do you feel now? What do you think of Vimara Village?"
Miyashiro: "It's a good place for quiet amidst the bustle, suitable for living. If I were to retire, I would like to spend my golden years in Vimara Village."
Azar: "Hahaha, Regent, you flatter me. I believe the scenery of Sumeru City will make you even more enchanted. I hope your delegation will have wonderful memories of your trip to Sumeru. Well, as your hosts, we have prepared your lodging. Regent, please!"
Miyashiro: "Grand Sage, what you say, we would be impolite to refuse. Please!"
After a period of meaningless pleasantries, this grand welcoming ceremony concluded. Afterward, Miyashiro and the others, led by Azar's assistant Setaria, arrived at a residence located below the Akademiya.
This residence, whether by its geographical location, building area, or decor style, was considered a mansion in Sumeru City, appearing to perfectly match the status of the Inazuma Delegation.
However, this residence had another very crucial characteristic: next to it was the headquarters of the House of Daena!
The House of Daena was the base of the Thirty Personal Guards responsible for Sumeru City's defense, essentially placing Miyashiro and the others next to the police station.
Azar's explanation for this was that it would fully ensure the Inazuma Delegation's safety in Sumeru City, providing a complete sense of security. But in Miyashiro's eyes, this act likely carried a stronger implication of surveillance. Moreover, if there were any slight movements, the Thirty Personal Guards in the House of Daena would respond even faster!
